The first step
isn't a proposal.
It's a diagnostic.

A 60-minute structured session to map exactly where data trust, KPI ownership, and decision authority are breaking down in your operation. You leave with a Data Trust Report, a prioritized roadmap, and a clear picture of what to fix first.

Step 1 / Start Here

DRIVE Index Diagnostic

60 minutes · $1,500 · Data Trust Report included
  • ✓ DRIVE Index Assessment. A structured questionnaire covering the five dimensions of data trust across your operation. Completed before the session so we spend our time on the diagnostic, not on context-setting.
  • ✓ 60-minute diagnostic session. A structured conversation walking through your scored results. Where trust is breaking down, who owns which numbers, and where the data and the people doing the work disagree.
  • ✓ Data Trust Report and Roadmap. What's broken, what it's costing you, and what to fix first. A complete deliverable whether or not you move forward with a full engagement.

Is this the right conversation for you?

Great Lakes Analytics works with a small number of food and beverage manufacturers at any given time. Here's how to know if this is a fit.

This is probably a fit if…
  • You're a VP of Operations, Plant Manager, or Operations Leader at a $50M+ food and beverage manufacturer
  • You have data and dashboards but decisions are still slow, contested, or escalated
  • You're investing in smart manufacturing and want to know if your environment is ready to support it
  • You've already invested in smart manufacturing technology and need the organization to actually use it
  • You want a diagnostic that tells you exactly what to fix, not another technology recommendation
This is probably not a fit if…
  • You're looking for someone to build dashboards or implement BI tools
  • You need a large consulting team with broad implementation capacity
  • Your organization isn't ready to engage leadership in structured sessions
  • You're looking for a short-term project with no expectation of ongoing work
  • You're outside food and beverage manufacturing
